Why Nolan Wells' Best Friend Missed the Funeral Amidst Death Threats

Nolan Wells’ self-described best friend blamed death threats for why he was absent from the 18-year-old college football star’s funeral on Monday, according to a new interview.

Warren Hudson revealed on The Officer Tatum podcast released Saturday that he did not attend Wells’ funeral for a number of reasons — including his own safety concerns.

When asked why he was noticeably absent from Monday’s service, Hudson told host Brandon Tatum he didn’t want to take away from the true purpose of the funeral given the intense social media attention on the Mississippi teen’s death.
